LBV vs

We played the Palm course the following day which was better than LBV but they are both great courses.

Greens were slow but true and the overall course condition was great. .

Good place, great value for Orlando residents.

The course was in good shape. Green was not the fastest, but rolled just fine. Conditions were good as well. Much better considering how much play is done there. Definitely would recommend to try if you are looking for a laid back course with great service.

Just Okay

The course was in good shape - the lay out wasn't outstanding by any means. Never seen the cart girl or the stationary cart at the turn. 85 degrees you may want to have a cart person out on the course.

Great condition, fast pace, very enjoyable

We were the 2nd foursome to tee off, we finished in 3 hours 15 minutes. The condition of the course and greens was very good. Depending upon the tees you played you could make the course as difficult as you want. Overall a great experience and good value for the cost to play. I booked my tee time one day in advance.

Very Nice

Course was manicured to the nines. We played later in the day after there had been plenty of traffic on the greens and they still rolled true, even with little bumps. Pace of play was a little slow, but for tourists coming in from all over and it being a Disney course this was expected. We played after it rained a decent bit the day or so before and the course was a little moist in certain areas, but nothing to complain about. LBV has made me look forward to trying out The Palm and Magnolia. It is an Arnold Palmer owned facility and I am glad to see they haven't let it go like some of his ownership courses I have played in the past.

Boats hooter a little annoying though quaint

Late tee off did not make 18 holes. People in front very slow and poor course and golf knowledge. The hole running by Down Town Disney to the left, very unsightly. People very friendly. Course enjoyable but not as manicured as I expected for a Disney course. Boats hooter a little annoying though quaint

Always a pleasure to play this course.

This course is a must for me on my annual visit to Orlando to play golf. I have played it a number of times now and I have enjoyed it every time. This year I was paired up with a Disney employee who was a very pleasant fellow and I learned a lot about Disney Inc during the round.
